How to turn off LED light during face unlock? - Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers

Hello all,
Is there any way to turn off the red LED light during face/IRIS unlock?
Thanks.

I don't have the answer.
But why do you want that?

You cannot turn that off because it is using infrared to scan your eyes and face. It's why you can use those functions even in poorly lit conditions.

LED lights

Just got the new phone today. The LED lights aren't switched on by default. So when the phone is charging, have bluetooth switched on, missed calls etc.... nothing
In the sounds and notifications setup the tick box for the light is greyed out. Is there a registry setting to turn them on, or is my phone faulty ??

Do you mean the circle LED? Reading the manual they should flash or spin in a circle depending on whats happening. there is no Bluetooth light from what I can tell.

No not the circular light it works ok. There appears to be a small LED up beside the speaker (where your ear goes). It's not doing anything !

there are no "connectivity" indicator LEDs - ie WLAN BT Phone etc. only the indicator LED for missed call, unread email sms.

They aren't lights but sensors. One detects the amount of light in a room to automatically change your brightness, and apparently the other is a proximity sensor, which I didn't know, but makes sense. The proximity sensor is why your screen turns off when you put your phone to your ear during a call.

dimmy screen

Hi guys/
Recently, when the battery goes lower than 20% the screen start dimming why ?
I tried a lot of roms including V30b and ICS
Do you have solution?
Go to Settings -> Battery saver or something like that. Check those options...
I don't mean dim is low brightness NO!
But I mean something like some lights are off and some still on
Got it?

LED notification

There seems to be no LED indication light for notifications. Is it possible to turn in on?
Thanks
I'm pretty sure this phone does not come with an LED on the front.

I do enjoy it. The only time I miss it is when it's in my pocket. I used to see the blinking LED on my old phone.

There *is* actually an LED on the Moto X. Page 2 of your owners manual. Although it only comes on when your battery is so low the screen can't power it up and you plug it in to charge. No one has seemed to be able to get it to work besides that.

I use Voxer (if you don't know what it is, it's a "walkie-talkie" type messaging app, it's in the Play Store) and upgraded to Pro, which gives you "Extreme" notifications. When I get a message, the camera LED flashes. Kind of nice.

considering Nokia 8, does no led notification bother you?

Hi, I need a screen with a very bright screen. I am considering buying a nokia 8 but the only thing holding me back is the lack of led notification. Does it bother you or not? Appreciate anyones thoughts.
I don't miss it at all, and now I like the fact that it's not always blinking for something.
The glance screen will tell you if you missed phone calls or SMS, although you do have to move the phone for it to come on.
I thought that I would miss the notification LED, but am getting on fine without it.

thanks, so just moving the phone turns on glance screen? Seems like a good alternative.
Yes moving the phone will turn on the glance screen.
I attach two pictures, one of glance screen in operation and the second of the possible settings for the glance screen. The time-out for the glance screen can be set up to 20 minutes.
I should point out that while the screen on the Nokia 8 will not disappoint for clarity and brightness, that the glance screen is dim (to save battery) and you cannot make it brighter.
Hope that helps
I'm the opposite end of the stick. I think glance is [email protected] and do miss the notification led.

Backlight notification. In other words, use the capacitive buttons as notification leds.

+1 to you for crap glance screen. Dont really miss a notification led though
I cant remember the last phone i had with a notification LED, i had forgotten it was even a thing.

Not really... It only shows counters for missed calls, mails and texts. Missed messages from other apps (like messengers) are not shown. Besides that, the counter font is very tiny. I turned off glance screen after a few days because I found it totally useless...
So, yes: I actually miss a notification LED.

Is there a guide on how to enable this?

No, you need a custom kernel to be able to do it.
Edit: The apps I was trying (that used the camera flash for notificaitons) didn't work, so I've deleted the links.
